I am a shepherd, and the owner of the sheep prevents me from attending the Friday prayer. Is there anything required of me?

Question:
He has guaranteed questions, and a set of questions. He says: I am a resident in the Kingdom, in the outskirts of 'Afiq, a shepherd of sheep, and I do not pray the Friday prayer in the mosque. He says: due to work conditions, and the owner of the sheep does not allow me to go to the mosque on Friday. Is there anything required of me? Please guide us, may Allah reward you all with good.

Answer:
There is a distinction here. If the situation requires your presence with the sheep so that they are not scattered, or so that wild beasts do not attack them, or something similar—meaning, there is danger to the sheep if you do not stay with them—then this is a valid legal excuse. Yes. It permits you to leave the Friday prayer.
As for if the situation is the opposite, and the sheep are safe and there is no danger to them, then it is not permissible for the employer to prevent the worker from attending the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer, because this is a right for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and there is no valid legal excuse that drops it. It is obligatory for the guarantor to enable the worker to perform the Friday prayer and the five daily prayers, unless doing so would result in harm from the loss of money, or what is entrusted to him. Yes.
